Indeed! My strategy:
1. Pay for items with credit card
2. Take back credit card
3. Tell the cashier that you want cash@till
4. Present Cheque Card for cash@till

You can withdraw money with your CC, it however doesn't go off your Cheque but off your CC and so interest applies from day one.

Okay yeah shot, that's what I thought.
For drawing money yes.... but if you include it with your normal spend "swipe" then surely it has the normal XX days interest free applied? No?

Nope it's tracked as a separate thing, doesn't form part of the same swipe transaction even though it's one swipe.
Alternatively go to the ATM.
You'll lose 500 points max if you use your card for swipes and such most of the time.

Not sure if it is the same as Makro or Le Crueset vouchers but mine is usually sms'ed to me within 10min of purchase.
Yes, same as my previous ones, but my first YC voucher and it gets emailed, nothing since order at 5pm. Gmail account used for reliability, spam box checked.

I barely ever withdraw money, but when I do, I use my CC.
And it's amounts like R10 for parking.
I ordered on a friday and it was mailed on the monday. It's not automated.
Checkout the parking machine.. I've found a surprising amount of machines actually use credit cards for payments that i did not notice until recently.. from Centurion Mall to Sandton City.. it goes in the same slot as the ticket. (yes i nearly thought it would swallow it once or twice and then i realised its just a feature not many noticed albeit there are visa/mastercard signs and the machine says cc accepted)

Usually at Menlyn that doesn't have that function for some odd reason =/
I usually run a makro 
on my EBUCKS every month in case I lose my RL 5. Now I'm not sure which vouchers I used. Anyone know if they can give me the balance on the virtual number if I call the number they give?

In the meantime i'm starting to pad my KaChing account with the VitalityDrive (Discovery) rewards every few days. Just wish that they rolled out the system to more malls as presently its Rosebank and a few others.. so kinda limited.
I even change my shopping habits and give preferential ranking to malls that use these machines. Stops me having to go stand in a Checkers line to draw R10....or worse! Go to ATM and draaw R50 to pay my R8 parking....
